Cookie Policy.

Cookies are small files a website stores in your browser. We also use localStorage, which works similarly but is never sent to our servers. Where any of this counts as personal data, it is processed under the UAE Personal Data Protection Law (Federal Decree-Law No. 45 of 2021) and our Privacy Policy applies.

• theme: Remembers your light or dark mode choice.
• afsa_footer_collapsed: Remembers whether you collapsed the site footer.

Firebase, our authentication and database provider, also stores keys in your browser to keep your session valid. These are strictly necessary for signing in.

We do not currently run Google Analytics, advertising pixels, or any third-party tracker on this site, and we do not sell or share browsing data with advertisers.

If that changes, we will ask for your consent before any non-essential cookie is placed, and give you a way to withdraw it as easily as you gave it. Under the PDPL, consent must be freely given and specific — so analytics will never be switched on silently and this page will be updated first.

You can delete or block cookies in your browser settings — usually under Privacy or Site Settings. Blocking the strictly necessary cookies in section 02 will stop you signing in and will break checkout, because the site cannot tell one request from another without them.

Preference cookies are safe to clear: the site simply reverts to its default language and layout the next time you visit.

Ask our Data Protection Officer at privacy@afsa.ae. If you are not satisfied with our answer you may complain to the UAE Data Office.
